WIP – TRAVELOGUE

I’m not normally one to post work-in-progress pieces, however, school has become quite hectic and I’m not getting as much stitching as done as I’d like to. This sleeve is the current project I’ve been playing around with, the denim jacket has been my constant travel companion for the last year, and I wanted to “tattoo” the names of the cities we’ve been to. Starting with Toronto – my hometown, the list colourfully descends with London, Helsinki, Berlin, Paris, from my Euro-Adventure last summer. All that is left is my most recent trip to San Francisco.

This my first time using waste-canvas and the project has had a small learning curve, on top of that, my four-inch embroidery hoop snapped. So I’ve been free-handing it, which results in delightfully wonky letters.
